 Playing and retrieving a toy  Spinning certain directions
 Touching a target mat (We can build lots of
value and games for this to help teach our
running contacts in agility. I recommend
only using mats from www.nonsliprcmats.

blend of rubber to create the best anti-slip
mat

 Shaping wrapping a cone
 Sits, downs and standing all on verbal cue
(no body or hand movement)
 Shaping to put a lead on
These are just some of the tricks we have been
learning. If you remember reading in my last
article that I was running an online follow along
course of her training all these plus more are
covered in that! Although that course has now
finished, all the content of her past and future
training will be uploaded to our online training
website
www.intoshapeagility.com
Well what else to say? I could go on about her
and all my other dogs for pages and pages.
She’s now approaching the age where we can
start to make a bit more of a go of our agility
foundation training, lets just hope it stops raining
for more than 10 minutes at a time, so we have
some suitable ground to do this on!
I hope you have enjoyed reading our little
adventures, lets hope we get to have some
bigger adventures this year!
